OUR GREAT SHOPPING EXCURSION

Went out into elbow-deep new snow this morning....always a shock to squat and pee in that stuff!! Tried to find a wayward deer sneaking around out there, but no go! I waited on the porch for HOURS while Nasus was flitting around the kitchen, feeding that slob of a senile cat, feeding the woodstove, getting her coffee, turning on her computer, mumbling to herself!! FINALLY she let me in, after making me sit and STAY on that cold porch floor until she said, "OK!" I guess she's tired of the way I bolt past her, clawing at the doors, failing to control my excitement! I got my morning tidbits, trying to carefully mouth them from her hand without biting her! Sometimes it works!

Played with my stuffed toys for a bit while N clicked those letters on that board near her computer. Heard on TV that the terrorists in India still had control of the Taj Mahal Hotel, and that tons of people were now dead. When will humans learn that growls, tail heights, head postures, and general all-around body postures should let people know who's the boss! Why do those two-footers need all those guns and grenades to terrorize each other? I wish I could make them see what works in the worlds of 4-footers.

Then off we went in the truck to a place where I could hear all kinds of 2-footers using snarly voices with each other as they got ready to do what they call 'shop.' For a while I barked at them, but it didn't seem to do any good. So I settled down until N came back with a LOAD of great smelling stuff! Was glad when we got moving again, and the heat was turned back on.....started to get a bit chilly in that cab!

N ate a yummy-smelling muffin she bought herself on the way home, but she forgot to offer me anything. Oh well....I know I'll get something when we get home.

Time for me to eat now, and then play with some new toys!
